The PhD candidate will work in my research group on developing cutting-edge computational methodologies for FSI problems with added multiphysics effects, feeding into the recently funded EPSRC project (while together working with PDRAs).

Grammarly got bad since they added AI. Its understanding of the context has gotten worse and often it keeps circling back to the original sentences after a few suggestions.

That's true!

It's not about instant gratification. It's about keeping people engaged, especially at the start of the course.

There is a recent special issue on the history of CAD in Engineering. Check this if you find something interesting.

I have not seen any great course on this.
But check these out. They seem to be okay.

It is probably better to refer to textbooks on the subject.

Check this course. There's another one on discrete differential geometry in his channel.

Both are excellent!

They simply want fast-paced reviews so they can publish more papers in a year.

Unfortunately, it's not but this trend was set by MDPI.
It's from Elsevier and is considered as one of the best journals in the field.
Quite a few Elsevier journals I know have 2-3 weeks of deadlines now.

It was a major revision. I rejected the original version. The EiC made the decision without my review for the revised version, in about 2 weeks.
December 20, 2024 at 5:24 PM
Just yesterday an EiC emailed me saying that they no longer need my review, I accepted it on the 4th of December.
December 20, 2024 at 5:18 PM
I am reluctant to accept the requests with 2 or 3 weeks for reviews.
Editors should have a serious talk with the publishers on the review times.
